I'm just not tech savvy when it comes to game boxes etc. I have become a Tennessee Titan fan the last couple of years and being on the west coast we don't get more than one or two games a year. I want to stream the games but hook the Internet to my tv. Can I do that using a PlayStation or Xbox or Amazon Fire? Can I download the app I need for the games on one of those boxes. In a nutshell how do I do it?

Thanks.

Oh my, my! That is funny. I don't imagine people on here as gamers. I sure cannot help you but will tell on myself. Not long ago, my son got me into some games on the X-Box 360. The Elder Scrolls- Skyrim. I had a lot of fun! :compute:

Alan, google Chromecast. $30-35. Wireless. Kinda like a jump drive. Plugs into your HDMI port on your TV. Download software on computer or an app on smartphone/iPad. Really easy. Really cheap.

Other option is to buy a cable that hooks from a laptop to your TV. Can't remember the technical name for it.

As far as your original question, idk, over my head. But it probably can be done.
 
My wife is a big time gamer, most on the pc, she's 55 yrs on and hooked on world of Warcraft amongst others. I've messed with the Wii a bit on a couple of games but not a bunch lately. I'm just hoping someone can tell me how to stream the Titan games onto my tv.

I have suffered through A LOT of skyrim over the past few years as my 2 oldest really enjoyed the game. It has interesting storylines to be certain.

If your TV has screen mirroring feature, you can link your TV to your cell or tablet and stream game on there and watch on your big screen. Works well.
 
I don't if this will help but I watch cattle auctions online and some online programming
I plug an hdmi cable in my laptop and then the tv
Change the tv to the appropriate port and watch it on the tv screen

Fallout for me, but Skyrim is fun and you really get your money worth.
 
I think sling tv had nfl red zone. You can buy a $40 Amazon Fire stick or a Roku, or otherwise connect a smart tv to the Internet. Either of those will have sling tv built in. $25/month.
